Luxury week - The Pucic Palace in Dubrovnik

If you popped in to read my blog post on Monday, you'll know that this week on Travel Lightbulb is 'luxury week'. I'm continuing the theme of beautiful accommodation today by featuring a completely luxurious hotel in Dubrovnik! The Hotel Pucić Palace is one of the finest noble homes in the city.

It's a 17th century Baroque building but is a luxury five star boutique hotel located in the old town. It is located in Gundulić Square, one of the most beautiful spaces in Dubrovnik which serves as a quaint market in the morning and the setting for glamourous alfresco dining in the evening.

What I like about the Hotel Pucic Palace is that, unlike some luxury hotels, this one features just 17 luxury rooms and two suites creating an exclusive and intimate experience for guests. It also has two fabulous a la carte restaurants meaning you don't have to venture out to eat if you don't want to.

Dubrovnik is a historic and beautiful city, and the beaches within walking distance from the Pucić Palace are superb. Hotel guests have exclusive access to the East West Beach Club - Banje Beach, just a short stroll away and was voted as one of the top 5 beaches in Europe.

The Pucić Palace is just 30 minutes from Dubrovnik airport, ten minutes from the Marina, and a minute from the old port. If you want more information on the hotel, go to the official website here.  So after two stunning luxury accommodation choices on my blog this week, I'd love to know.....where is your favourite luxurious place to stay?

    This is very nice blog with best design and good details. Dubrovnik is a city located on the coast at the Southern most tip of Croatia, looking out over the Adriatic Sea towards Italy. This hotel is best for a luxury week.

The undisputed King of Chicken Piri Piri!

Image
If you like chicken, and haven't yet tried Piri Piri, I have to break it to you.....you're missing out big time! The dish is traditionally made from Piri Piri peppers which originated in South Africa, and were imported to Portugal from Angola and Mozambique. Restaurants across Portugal have their own individual recipes for the dish; but the Algarve town of Guia is said to have the most authentic Piri-Piri houses, and I am quite confident when I say I think I have found the best. O Teodósio (otherwise known as King of Chicken) opens for lunch at 12 noon; and 6pm for evening meals. Trust me, it pays to get there just before it opens. Long queues of people soon build up, and every time I've eaten there it has been mobbed - quite impressive when you consider it seats nearly 700! Although they do serve other dishes, you never see a menu being handed out - you simply order "Frango piri piri, batatas fritas e salada" (chicken piri piri, chips, and salad). It'...

Life is not a dress rehearsal

Image
Ever since I was a little girl, my dad told me "Life is not a dress rehearsal". While it was a phrase that stuck in my mind, it didn't resonate with me until I got a bit older, and realised that he was totally right! We spend so much of our lives at work; in meetings, and sometimes doing things we don't always enjoy. So when we have time off and go on holiday, we have to make the most of it. Take time to look up at that blue sky, breathe in that fresh air to give us new energy for when we have to return to reality! One of my passions is travel - another is research, which combine to make a brilliant partnership! I love finding places off the beaten track; hotels that make you go 'ooooooh'; B&B's that make you feel you could just unpack your suitcase and stay forever, and attractions in different countries that you may not find in your guide book!  This is why I decided to start Travel Lightbulb - I want to share some of the great things I've...

If you've never been to Thailand before, then picture a lush country with white sand beaches and emerald waters. Today I'm featuring a fabulous hotel which is set on the edge of Krabi's National Marine Park at the heart of the stunning Phranang Peninsula. Courtesy of Rayavadee, Krabi Inspired by a southern Thai village, the Rayavadee resort has won awards for its architecture. There are 96 two-storey pavilions and 5 luxurious villas, all dotted through tropical gardens and coconut groves.  Courtesy of Rayavadee, Krabi There are several restaurants to choose from, with everything from elegant dining to casual beachside fare. As for things to do, there is a fabulous spa at the resort which also offers a full range of excursions to places on Krabi itself, as well as the area's outlying islands.  Courtesy of Rayavadee, Krabi The beaches here are stunning and there are three incredible ones just a few steps away. Phi Phi island can also be reached by spe...
